SUMMARY:EduCafé on STEM education
DESCRIPTION:Together with the Czech Liaison Office (CZELO) and the Representation of the South Moravian Region to the EU\, SwissCore organised a new edition of the EduCafé. \n\n\n\nThis event took place on Tuesday\, 14 April from 17:30 at ISELP (Boulevard de Waterloo 31\, 1000 Brussels). \n\n\n\nThe EduCafé addressed a shared European challenge: How to strengthen STEM education and attract talent in order to ensure success in a future knowledge- and innovation-based economy? Recent national and European discussions have confirmed a broad consensus on the urgency of this issue. The discussion was guided by several key questions: How can we motivate young people to choose STEM pathways and succeed in them? And how can universities and other educational institutions adapt their educational offer\, including study programmes and training opportunities\, to respond to the current needs of the European economy in key strategic sectors? \n\n\n\nWe welcomed the following speakers: \n\n\n\nMs Lena Dändliker\, Head of the Swiss Education Lab at the Chair of Education Systems at ETH Zurich\, whose research focuses on educational processes and their impact on individuals\, the economy\, and society\, with a particular emphasis on STEM education.   \n\n\n\nMs Mariana Tesařová\, Head of Internationalisation at Brno University of Technology (BUT)\, where she works to strengthen the international dimension of STEM education and research and to link international cooperation with broader EU priorities in innovation and skills development.  \n\n\n\nMs Chiara Colella from DG EAC (European Commission)\, who currently contributes to the implementation of STEM education and skills initiatives within the European Education Area.  \n\n\n\nThe evening was moderated by Mr David Chvála (CZELO).  \n\n\n\nSummary of the event: here

SUMMARY:Swiss Science Briefing: Co-creating FP10
DESCRIPTION:ZHdK\, SwissCore and Helmholtz jointly organise an event on “Co-creating FP10: How design science can help bridge the translational gap from research to health innovation”. \n\n\n\nWhile the European Parliament and Council are preparing their positions on the next research framework programme (FP10) in response to the European Commission’s proposal\, new interdisciplinary approaches are needed to better translate excellent research into real-world innovation. In the field of health innovation\, design science offers valuable methods to ensure that research outcomes genuinely reach patients\, healthcare professionals\, and health systems.This event will bring together policymakers\, researchers\, and innovation actors to explore how design science and co‑creation can help overcome persistent barriers in turning health and digital health research into impactful solutions. The Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK)\, one of Europe’s largest art universities\, will showcase its design‑driven health innovation work\, including insights from the Digital Health Design Living Lab.The event\, which is co-hosted by Helmholtz\, will feature a workshop that invites participants to experience co-creative methods while jointly formulating key messages for the new framework programme. Through hands-on engagement with design-driven approaches\, participants will explore how interdisciplinary collaboration can accelerate the translation of health research into impactful digital health solutions for European healthcare systems. \n\n\n\n📅 Date: 29 April 2026\, as from 13:00📍 Location: ISELP\, Boulevard de Waterloo 31\, 1000 Brussels📝 Registration: Please fill in this form \n\n\n\nYou can find the detailed programme here.

SUMMARY:Swiss Science Briefing: Eyes on Water
DESCRIPTION:Image: Floating LéXPLORE lake laboratory – © Jenny Maner\, Eawag \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Briefing is co-organised by the Mission of Switzerland to the EU\, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) and SwissCore\, with contributions from the European Commission\, the European Space Agency (ESA)\, and European partners. \n\n\n\nWater is emerging as one of the most strategic resources of the 21st century\, it also becomes a powerful entry point to science diplomacy. We will discuss how cutting‑edge research and international cooperation advance our understanding\, strengthen resilience\, and support science diplomacy in practice. The European Commission and ESA will outline key instruments\, programmes and future directions\, complemented by insights from leading science institutions. \n\n\n\nThe briefing will be set in the context of the framework of the EU Water Resilience Strategy\, European initiatives under Horizon Europe\, and the European Commission’s ongoing work on science diplomacy\, including the upcoming Council Recommendations. \n\n\n\nThe event will be followed by a Spring apéro from 17:30\, celebrating Switzerland’s association to Horizon Europe and other EU programmes\, including a prototype showcase. \n\n\n\n📅 Date: 19 May 2026\, at 15:30📍 Location: Mission of Switzerland to the EU\, Place du Luxembourg 1\, 1050 Brussels \n\n\n\nDetailed programme: here \n\n\n\nRegistration form: here
